Differentiating Your Business Through the Health and Wellness Movement
Tuesday, April 05, 2022: 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Speaker(s)
Description
As people spend more time in their homes, the importance of the home as a sanctuary has moved to the forefront. No longer merely a functional space designed for shelter, the home is a refuge for restoration and rejuvenation that also supports health and wellness. Kitchens – already a hub of the home – are growing in significance. Fewer people are eating out, and cooking is gaining traction. Features like water filtration, touchless fixtures, convection and induction cooking, and kitchen gardens are becoming more common. Elements such as spa-style bathrooms with large soaking tubs and steam showers, proper ventilation, humidity/mold control systems, natural light, and smart technology are also assuming a more prominent role as we navigate a constantly evolving landscape. Moreover, hygienic materials – antibacterial and antimicrobial surfaces, stainless steel for appliances, etc. – are becoming top-of-mind for countertops and finishes.
In this session, a thought leader with 34 years of experience in the home and build products industry and a certified Wellness Within Your Walls professional – will share how design-build professionals can embrace the movement toward health and wellness in the home, and effectively promote that alignment to differentiate and revitalize their businesses as we move into an uncharted future.
